attend north county high. >> i was scared when they announced it. >> i talked to the guy when he was walking his dog. that's it. >> reporter: parents are relieved the incident didn't add up to more than a close call. >> first i'd heard of anything. >> reporter: some of the students say they are not concerned. they feel the security measures worked since the suspect was stopped. reporting in, richard jordan. we like this idea. offering workers treadmill desks. t it's an effort to counteract the dangers of sitting too long. we have some new information on why sitting can be causing major health problems. >> we like this idea. between commuting in the car, sitting at our computers and relaxing in front of the tv it, it's not a stretch to say most of us spend the majority of our waking hours sitting down. but now new research is e showing too sed tear for too

long could cause metabolic changes causing heart disease to diabetes. these two are working and walking at the same time. they can do it because their employer has treadmill desks. which is exactly what it sounds like. a desk with a monitor on top of a treadmill. >> who wants to sit down all day? it's great for your health. >> if it's a quick 15, 20 minutes, it feels refreshing. >> reporter: they are joining the movement to get people off their back sides and on to their feet. that's because more and more research is find iing that sittg all day can lead to a host of health problems. >> just sitting all day actually changes things met bollically such that it increases your risk of diabetes, heart disease, early death and some people think certain types of cancers.

colder temperature there is. radar, nothing show around our region. a few snow showers earlier into the mountains, but those are gone. we'll continue to see clear skies throughout much of the night. sunny conditions today and a beautiful afternoon. the clouds got out of here and it was really nice. tomorrow, however, we're going to see more clouds. say good-bye to the sunshine. the clouds move back in. the cool conditions move in. here comes the rain up from the south. the potential for a lot of rain here. especially to the east of washington. not nearly as much. this will be snow to the north and west. this could be a monster storm for places like new york city, places like boston. boston could pick up 1 to 2 feet of snow from this. for us, it's just going to be on the rainy side. maybe a half inch. cloudy skies for tomorrow. a cool afternoon. temperatures 39 to 44 degrees. this is the next couple days.

school security and would also improve mental health services? . >> reporter: the police department and prosecutors say it's time for gun control. >> it's not taking away guns. it's making sure that we take care of each other, that we do what is necessary to protect our children. to make sure those vulnerable are not killed. >> reporter: the gun control debate has the room crowded. people in the hallway and hundreds here waiting to get inside the building with more still arriving. the debate will last into the evening. if the gun control bill passes, there's already a petition campaign to block it from becoming law by sending it to referendum to let maryland voters decide. the wizards have played better of late, but it's a tall task against one of the top teams in the nba. >> the new york knicks are in town. >> the knicks, the second best team in the eastern conference.

i'm still supporting them they have. been doing well wont me. i'm going to keep supporting my teammates. >> a few other guys have come back from injury. what's been the biggest difference on the floor for you guys? >> just the way we're playing. it feels good to have everybody back. we were lacking pieces we needed. now we have everything complete and the ball has been moving. we have been playing great team difference. everything is coming together. >> you have beaten some good teams in this building. miami, oklahoma city, another great challenge tonight against the knicks. what are you expecting? >> the same results. we're going to get a win. just a mind set. we're not coming in with a losing mentality because we're always going e to compete. we have beaten some of the top teams. we can play with anybody. we have to keep doing what we're doing and keep playing until the the end. >> reporter: after this morning's shoot around, bradley stayed on the court for about 20 minutes with assistant coaches shooting by himself. he will come out in a few

minutes to have another shoot around with coaches. if he feels good, he will play. >> so we can expect an answer from you on if bradley is going to play for sure at 6:45? >> reporter: absolutely. hopefully he does play because this team is better with him. he's averaging over 13 points a game. it should be a good game either way. >> sounds great behind you. jason down at verizon center. knicks at wizards tonight. between the antique stores and caves, men with guns storm a jewelry store. tonight we learn how police were able to crack the case. and a sex scandal rocks a high school in virginia. why some say this shouldn't be a criminal case. using your iphone, ipad, black berry

>> the scouts say a couple things about this. first of all, they have had an outpouring of feedback that shows how deeply care about scouting and about this it issue. it's complex and need more time for what they call a deliberate review of the membership policy. there was to be a vote today before the 33-member board. by postponing it to may, they will have it before the national council. so both sides of this hope the time will work in their favor. people who think the change should happen, and remember the change under discussion, the scouts would remove the national ban from their membership rules and leave it up to local units to admit gay scouts and gay scout leaders. the advocates of the change think time is good for them, but opponents think time is on their side. we're told that there's a civil war within the scouting organization and they need time to sort it out. >> it it this because so many churches and scouts are

sponsored by churches? was it a pushback from the religious community? >> well, yes, in part. i think it's fair to say they didn't have the votes before the board today. because if they did, they would have voted on it. the greater salt lake council wrote a letter saying they represent half a million young people. they wanted more time. they opposed this. 99% of the scout organizations in the greater salt lake council are sponsored by the mormon church and took a dim view of this. >> pete williams, thanks so much. a charity gets $28 million from a washingtonen who most knew little about, until now. >> reporter: i'm tom sherwood. you've got mail.
